What are those things called?

They are basically a terminal block. Do you need a replacement? If so drop me a PM and I will send one to you (let me know which one you need).
Here's a photo of the back of the AMX PCS2 with the 6-pin port:

the ironic part of that is it's about 30 minutes each way for me to get up to AO in Lewisville over a lunch break... meanwhile, AMX headquarters is literally two blocks from my daughter's pre-school. it would be A LOT closer for me if I could get someone over there to answer my emails. the friend of mine who used to work there was part of the last round of lay-offs (apparently, AMX is having some financial trouble), so I don't have direct access anymore like I used to.
In my opinion a customer should be able to call AMX, expalin the situation, and have a replacement part dropped in the mail that day free of charge. Many other companies (ELK, HAI etc etc) do it that way and keep their customers happy. Granted both ELK and HAI would prefer the customer go through their dealer but I dont remember hearing where either company turned away a customer with a problem that is relatively easy to correct from a mfg standpoint.
well, i never thought about actually calling them 
i did so, and they were very helpful. he did confirm that it was indeed a standard 5mm 6-port phoenix connector, and even suggested where I could get one (Graybar? never heard of them, but i'll look).
kudos to AMX for helping out the little guy.

just for posterity, 123 has helped me figure out that the part is riacon 31049106.
i've queried a couple distributors, but they all only sell them in bulk, i.e., in lots of 100+ (at about $2.35 per piece). The only distributor willing to sell me less than 10 (I just want 2-3) was going to charge me $11.23 per part, a flat $15.00 shipping charge, and a special $25.00 fee for the special small order, to which I said, thanks but no thanks.
Anybody else have any ideas about where I might get my hands on one of these?
